I don’t know, something about seeing 58-year-old men sporting the soul patch that just makes me laugh. You know, because I thought it was reserved strictly for 20-year-old surfers who hang out at the beach, not former major league managers currently serving as analysts for Baseball Tonight. But as my buddy Andy points out, Dusty…Read More

So Wednesday I arranged this shindig down at Lucky Strike in Hollywood. Several LA-area sports bloggers came through for what ended up being a great time. We chatted it up over many drinks, spending most of the time sharing stories and getting to know each other. I want to thank everyone who showed up for…Read More

I’m not sure this qualifies as a nip slip — it’s more along the lines of a straight up Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction. And let me just go on the record and say that I’m not a fan of that bikini style for the looks. But if it keeps producing results like the following, then…Read More

Known as the Black Widow (I thought that was Janet Lee’s nickname?),…Read More

I think it has to do with whether or not everything is in proportion, although I can’t swear to it. Either way, I’m proud to say that the Dwarf Games were…Read More

Mark Jackson had a great line in his analysis of the draft last night — the Blazers had such a good draft it overshadowed the release of the Apple Iphone. Well, there are a lot of people excited about Portland hoops, but probably not as many as people excited about the latest Apple I-___ technology….Read More
